Medical Negligence Solicitors Belfast – Death in Custody

Phoenix Law, a prominent legal firm renowned for its vigorous pursuit of justice in human rights and medical negligence cases, has successfully secured a settlement of £1.5 million for the family of a deceased individual who tragically passed away due to medical negligence while in custody.

This significant legal victory marks a milestone in the realm of medical negligence and custodial justice, highlighting the essential rights of individuals in custody to receive competent medical care.

Case Background:

The case involved the unfortunate death of an individual, who was under the care of custodial staff when he suffered critical health complications that were not appropriately addressed by the medical personnel assigned to the detention facility. The legal action, pursued by Phoenix Law on behalf of the grieving family, argued that the medical failures constituted a direct breach of duty of care, ultimately leading to the deceased’s untimely death.

Legal Proceedings and Outcome:

Through diligent investigation and relentless advocacy, Phoenix Law demonstrated that the medical care provided was grossly inadequate and failed to meet the minimum standards required. The settlement of £1.5 million, approved by the court, acknowledges both the severity of the negligence and the profound impact of the loss on the family.

Darragh Mackin, a solicitor at Phoenix Law, stated, “This case was not only about seeking monetary compensation but also about affirming the fundamental right to life, especially those who are vulnerable and in custody. The substantial settlement reflects the seriousness of the neglect and sends a strong message about the accountability of medical professionals in custodial settings.”

Family’s Reaction:

The family of our client, while still mourning their loss, expressed hope that this case would lead to significant reforms in how medical care is administered in custodial environments to prevent future tragedies.

Phoenix Law’s Commitment:
